Differences between WOTB and WOT

So I recently started playing World of Tanks PC. And I'm rather liking it because the play is a lot more professional and there are a lot less trolls. Also, bigger and more varied maps and more tanks to choose from. (And no crate events).

I'd like to reach out to all the Wotblitz players who play WOT as well - what do you do differently in WOT, than you would in Blitz?

If you have less than 5000 battles, it is NOT COOL to have a tier 10. Having a Tier 10 does not make you good. If you think you're good, you probably aren't.

Just wait 'til they start shooting you because you didn't let them get the killshot on a tank that you've already done 95% of the damage to. Or end-game when you get the last kill for your Ace/Top Gun/personal mission game and they kill you so that your crew gets zero experience and the "survival" bit of the PM makes it so that you don't get the secondary. Or top-tier green arty deciding to try to scrape the red bottom-tier light tank off of your heavy tank's side and hits you square in the turret.

The main reason it seems less toxic is because the garage message button is kinda hidden and takes more than two seconds to find. Oh, and the green guys can't tell red where you are when you're 1v4 or 2v5 or the like anymore, thanks to no global chat.

Arty is as bad as you've heard. It is one of the things that ruin the game, and combined with XVM it is pure poison and the reason people quit playing. That and the way they don't even care about balance, like not at all. It isn't Blitz - they don't constantly rebalance Tier X tanks to make them more or less even (or to try). The Bobject is as OP and borked as the Ke Ni Otsu and they are giving it an insignificant nerf that doesn't matter. Russian bias doesn't really exist in botes, it isn't much of a problem in this game, but it is completely real on PC and not only is it boring for the game...it's bad for the game.

It's just a terrible game. It doesn't have to be, but they keep ruining it.

(also one of the people on their staff that they fired went into the game files and nerfed every German engine before he left. That was years ago and they never fixed it)
